Since the last yellow fever (YF) outbreak was detected in Argentina in 2009, vector surveillance and studies of arbovirus infections are carried out intermittently specifically in areas where nonhuman primates of the Alouatta genus are present. We report in these areas of Corrientes province the detection of Haemagogus leucocelaenus (Dyar and Shannon) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Sabethes albiprivus (Theobald) (Diptera: Culicidae), both species involved in the forest YF cycle, and also the presence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in new areas in Argentina, which represents the southernmost citation for this species in South America. Aedes albopictus, a mosquito species native to Asia, was reported for the first time in Argentina in 1998, in Misiones province. Since then, no other report has indicated the extension of the distribution of this mosquito. This report shows the importance of performing continual entomological and arboviruses surveillance and highlights the impact that could result from the expansion of Ae. albopictus across Argentina.
自 2009 年阿根廷最后一次发现黄热病（YF）疫情以来，专门在存在白肩长尾猴属（Alouatta）非人类灵长类动物的地区间歇性地进行媒介监测和虫媒病毒感染研究。我们在科连特斯省的这些地区报告了发现白纹伊蚊（Haemagogus leucocelaenus）（双翅目：蚊科）和萨氏库蚊（Sabethes albiprivus）（双翅目：蚊科），这两种蚊种均参与森林黄热病循环，并且还在阿根廷的新地区发现了埃及伊蚊（Aedes albopictus）（斯库蚊属），这是该物种在南美洲最南端的记录。埃及伊蚊是一种原产于亚洲的蚊子，于 1998 年在米西奥内斯省首次在阿根廷报告。此后，没有其他报告表明这种蚊子的分布有所扩大。本报告显示了持续进行昆虫学和虫媒病毒监测的重要性，并强调了埃及伊蚊在阿根廷境内扩散可能造成的影响。
